Flower Mound approves community-built playground design

A playground designed with the help of Flower Mound elementary students is closer to becoming a reality.

The Flower Mound Town Council recently approved an official design for Fort Wildflower, the town’s first community-built playground.

Elementary school students from Flower Mound contributed more than 500 ideas to ensure Fort Wildflower was a one-of-a-kind project, combining nature and fort themes with local historical flavor to create a unique experience for children, town officials said.

In September, hundreds of community volunteers will come together to build Fort Wildflower.
